Lyrics

Dreamer

[Refrain]

I guess I'll always a dreamer

Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away

[Verse 1]

A romantic fool, that's what I am

I think about you, all day long

Though it's impossible, for us to be together

Oh, it's not real, a love I can't feel

[Refrain]

Guess I'll always be a dreamer

Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away

[Verse 2]

I just can't wait, till I go to sleep

I'll be with you, all night long

Circumstances held me in a terrible fix

It's fantasy, I just like to share these moments together

[Outro]

I guess I'll always be a dreamer

Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away

And nothing comes but sleep, to a dreamer

And when you wake up the dream is gone away

I guess I'll always be a dreamer

Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away

I guess I'll always be a dreamer

Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away
